Hang on, don't they already do this? At least in the UK, I already have access to the service, and have downloaded 4 tracks already, which could be burned to a CD for 99p ($1.60?) each. It already works via WMP 9. Maybe we're just the guineapigs.
BTW, due to an interesting set of circumstances, you can download Tubular Bells parts (sides) 1 and 2 as one 99p track each, or the whole album for 7.99! (assuming 1 credit=1p; this can vary)
As with many useful things (Free software included) there's the split between increase in use of a technology because it's useful (e.g. I have a Wireless Router in my house so I can use my laptop in the garden, etc) and businesses trying to expand technology to make money out of it.
I see WiFi hardware being sold to places that want easy access available for their own purposes - homes, workplaces as well as cafes etc, but whether commercial/subscription access will be as big is less convincing.
Sounds like an excuse to watch my new DVD..
Incidentally I was once told that the way they get Open-Reel Tapes to spin back and forward so picturesquely in movies (they rarely do in normal use) is to run a sort job using the drives as input output and work datasets.
How dare they! Don't they know the Queen owns English? SCO and the USA should be expecting a lawsuit forthwith. (USA for creating a derivative work, of course...:-)

Either way, I stand corrected. North America is a continent with (many) more than two countries. Didn't know Greenland was part of it.
Who was it said a worrying percentage of Americans thought Central America meant Kansas? Phil (British)
Isn't North America a continent, containing two countries - USA and Canada?

In this old UK series, I once saw someone hack into a bank's computer using WordPerfect...
